orig. cloth. 24x15cm, viii,315 pp., Series: African Studies Series, 31. "This is the first full-length study of the political economy of one of the African states which were formed in the course of the nineteenth- century Zulu revolution. The early chapters examine the evolution of the Swazi state and the dynamics of its stratified systems, paying particular attention to the 'layering' of inequality through marriage and inheritance patterns, and the simultaneous integration of age regiments and the elaboration of a national ideology based on the Swazi royalty.
